Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The concept of reaction range suggests that genetically determined boundaries (i.e., genetics) are established within which environmental factors can influence or determine the specific expression of a given trait or characteristic in an individual. In other words, genetics creates a range of possible outcomes (such as potential height based on genes), but the environment may determine where within that range a particular individual falls (such as receiving adequate nutrition during childhood).
